Nathanson developed his acoustic-folk sound while a student at Pitzer College in Claremont, California. His musical style was no doubt influenced by the liberal arts college atmosphere and the sun-drenched weather of Southern California. Nathanson toured, performed, and recorded music throughout the '90s to local acclaim. In total, he released four albums on Acrobat Records and was a local on the coffee house scene. He received his big break when he was picked up by Universal Records to release his fifth album, Beneath These Fireworks in 2003. The album, which was his major-label debut, made a short lived appearance on the Billboard Heatseeker's chart. While it marked the first time that Nathanson appeared on any chart, Universal was not so impressed and he was soon dropped from the label, short of being able to launch a label backed tour and promotion junket.

Nathanson persevered and was soon picked up by Vanguard Records which released his breakthrough album, Some Mad Hope, in 2007. The album garnered mainstream attention when several of its songs were licensed out to hit television shows including Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, NCIS, and One Tree Hill. However, it was with the single, "Come on Get Higher", that Nathanson exploded onto radio and the Billboard charts. The single reached #3 on the Adult Contemporary chart and earned Nathanson a Platinum plaque for selling over 1.8 million copies. The album reached #60 on the Billboard 200, marking his highest charting entry ever. Nathanson toured and performed his hit single across the country and booked performances on the Late Show with David Letterman.

Following the massive success of "Come on Get Higher" and a nation-wide tour, Nathanson returned to the studio in 2010 to record his latest album. His seventh LP, Modern Love, was released in June, 2011 and features the hit single "Faster". Matt Nathanson tour dates have been scheduled nationally to promote his latest offering.
